    Circle metal domes are the most widely used type of tactile switch. They are primarily used in mobile phones, MP3 players, MP4 players, digital cameras, handheld devices, AI smart products, and membrane switches.Round metal domes are made from two material types: stainless steel (SUS301 and SUS304) and phosphor bronze (single-side silver-plated). Thanks to their uniform shape, these domes are less affected by impact, providing a standard lifespan of one million actuations.
    When PCB space is limited yet tactile feedback, rebound performance, and extended product life are required, circular metal domes are the ideal solution. In China, circular domes are commonly used in mobile phones.
    ased on the presence of dimples, we categorize round metal domes into three series:

    Without dimple: W-Series

    With one central dimple: 1D-Series

    With multiple dimples (typically three, four, or five): DN-Series

    Through holes: The DK/K series of through holes come in different diameters.

    A dimple refers to a small concave indentation on the dome. Domes with dimples generally offer better tactile feel, which is why many customers in China prefer dimpled types—especially for mobile applications. Non-dimpled domes are also used, depending on specific customer needs and structural design. Dimpled domes also provide better dust resistance and more reliable conduction in the presence of minor contaminants.
